Wondering how many days it takes to recover from a circumcision surgery

Patient's question:

I am male. 28 years old. How long does the circumcision surgery take? How long is the recovery period after the surgery? Does it require hospitalization? How many days of rest are needed before I can go back to work? What kind of help do I need: How many days does it take to recover after the circumcision surgery?

Doctor's answer:

Circumcision surgery is an outpatient procedure. If it is performed quickly, it can be completed in half an hour or so. This is a very mature surgical procedure.
How long does it take to fully recover after circumcision surgery? After the surgery, stitches are usually removed after about 7 to 10 days, so it depends on the specific situation. Generally, stitches are removed around 7 to 10 days, and the patient needs to rest for a period of time. After the surgery, it is absolutely not advisable to engage in physical activity, as it may cause local friction or trauma. Of course, this is not a major surgery, but it does involve some pain. As you know, the penis naturally becomes erect at night, and after the surgery, if the penis becomes erect while sleeping, it may stretch the wound significantly, causing pain at night. However, overall, this is a minor surgery, and the issue is not severe.
